Brushing the channels
• Be sure to brush the inside of the instrument channel and
suction channel. Otherwise, insufficient cleaning and/or
disinfection of the endoscope may pose an infection control
risk to the patient and/or operators performing the next
procedure with the endoscope.
• To avoid splattering detergent solution when the single use
combination cleaning brush (BW-412T) is pulled out, keep
the endoscope submerged.
